Establishing a good connection is hard. Holding on to it sometimes feels impossible. I talk with my guest Jake Tringali, aka Jake the Poet, about finding and holding on to connections (and also, letting them go). We broach the subjects of childhood slights and insights, names changed intentionally and accidentally, and he shares the story of discovering the Iceland Phallological Museum—essentially, a dick exhibit—and how he chased his dream of making a contribution. The show opens with the improvised mandolin tune “Little Ditty” by Jake.
